I already shared the info on Discord but it was better to make a post here so future runners can read it. When you start the level your running speed slowly increases and it takes almost 1 second to go to max. To avoid this you can apparently use the button to go sideways (on PC version i have it to TAB / Q ) to reach that max speed instantly. Here is an example:
You can clearly see how i reach the hoverboard faster on the right by doing that. It's pretty useful if you want to save a bunch of milliseconds ^-^
It might be that with lower fps the time goes slower than the gameplay and so you end the level with a faster time even tho it should be around the same
I was wondering.. is the -mpeg command allowed? It should lower times by a lot of seconds
I noticed after the glitch that in Karn the level tracking on top left is at the end when i didn't even move ( https://prnt.sc/231ch8m ). Maybe that is a starting point
Update: I've done some runs on Jo Ad TT and Canis Lunis TT on the PS1 Emulator (All recorded). The results are: Jo Ad ( https://prnt.sc/23184r3 ) and Canis Lunis ( https://prnt.sc/2319b58 )
I've beaten both my PB and almost world record in just few tries even tho on Jo Ad i did a slow start + i bumped on a few turns and on Canis Lunis i hit a rock by mistake. I dont know yet if my pc version is pal or ntsc but if it's pal there are some time difference for sure x)
I remember that Mario Kart 64 (i think?) had a similiar thing with times that had to be converted from NTSC to PAL or something like that. At this point i might try all the other levels and see if my times are better overall or just flamar. Will post results soon ^^
Update: Out of curiosity i downloaded a ps1 emulator and used a ps1 iso of buzz i had. Before you say anything i have both a ps1 and i had the original game x) but anyway I tried playing the game.. FPS is capped at 30 or around that and it's quite harder to play but this is my best attempt ( https://prnt.sc/22z5my0 )... yeah it's 0,6s faster than my PC Game best time. I tried to do the level 5 times and my times were all low 57 to 56. I switched right after that to the pc game and my first 5 plays were all around the same 57.60 except this one ( https://prnt.sc/22z6jl9 ) that was a personal best there. Has anybody tried the same thing?
Hi. Today i was doing blsc runs and i tried to beat my flamar time. I did many times in a row but not quite so much to beat Siegel time. At this point i checked his run to see what he was doing better than me and it felt a tiny bit slower compared to mine.. so i put both runs in a video editor and i noticed that when both runs starts at the same time ( https://prnt.sc/22ya2jm ) they desync midway ( https://prnt.sc/22ya70s ) with his run being 0.55 seconds behind on that timing (but on the same section and jump as you can see from the screen) and in the end i finish the run 2 seconds faster than him but his time is still better. With that said i am not sure if i have NTSC or PAL but does it change the timing of time trials too? I would like to try myself on an emulator but i dont know from where to start x)
EDIT: I can also record and post the desync and stuff if you want
